A battery-affixing frame member includes a body plate section and duct-forming members. The duct-forming members are affixed to one surface side of the body plate section and are combined with the body plate section to form gas discharge ducts. The gas discharge ducts are used to discharge gas discharged from the inside of battery modules. The battery-affixing frame member is used to form a battery-affixing member for integrally affixing the battery modules together, the battery modules being arranged on the other surface side of the body plate section.

A golf club head according to an embodiment includes a face having a ball striking surface and a back surface. The back surface of the face has a thick portion located at a generally center portion thereof in a direction from the toe toward the heel, a thin portion located around the thick portion, and a tapered portion located between the thick portion and the thin portion. The thick portion has a first width which is a width in a heel-toe direction, and a second width which is a width in a sole-top direction and is larger than the first width, and the thick portion also has a first thickness. The thin portion has a second thickness smaller than the first thickness. The tapered portion has a thickness reduced from the side of the thick portion toward the side of the thin portion.

Battery pack includes the following elements: large number of battery cells; lower holding member provided to hold the lower parts of large number of battery cells aligned by battery holding parts, and having lower openings for exposing the negative electrode terminal side of the battery cells; a positive electrode current collecting plate and a negative electrode current collecting plate connected to the corresponding terminals of the battery cells; and holder formed of upper holding member and lower holding member. In holder, upper gas channel for guiding the gas jetted from battery cells to the front side is formed. Inside holder, lower gas channel is formed on the periphery of the large number of battery cells. In holder, exhaust port is formed. In upper holding member, a communication hole for allowing communication between upper gas channel and lower gas channel is formed.

Iron-type golf club head

Described herein are iron golf club heads and sets of iron golf clubs that have variable weight distribution. Each iron golf club head has a cavity and a y-shaped cavity pad disposed on at least a portion of a back wall of the cavity. The y-shaped cavity pad provide reduced vibrations within the cavity when the iron golf club head strikes a golf ball. The y-shaped cavity pad also provides an enlarged sweet spot to provide increased forgiveness for off-center hits. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

Back design for an iron golf club head

An electric pencil sharpener is accommodated in a front part of a lower housing. An electric stapler is accommodated in an upper housing including a shared surface that is used as a top face of the lower housing, as its bottom face. A power transformer for supplying DC power to the electric stapler is arranged in a rear part of the lower housing. The shared surface also serves as a paper table used for guiding a bundle of paper into the electric stapler. A caulking plate for bending both legs of a staple that is made to penetrate through the bundle of paper by a hammer is provided on the shared surface. Since the electric stapler is arranged in an upper part and the electric pencil sharpener is arranged in a lower part, it is possible to provide an electric stapler with pencil sharpener in which cutting waste generated by sharpening a pencil does not affect the stapling operation and good stability is achieved because of a lowered weight balance and which requires only a small installation area on a desk.
